When you think of the lotus flower, do images of "emerging unsullied from the mud, standing gracefully" immediately appear in your mind? Indeed, this LEGO-style lotus set aims to bring that refined elegance right to your desk.

 Layer upon layer of petals, fresh green leaves—every detail is carefully crafted. Once completed, it resembles a miniature brick flower art piece, quietly creating a charming desktop display.

 Hello everyone, I' m Cecilia. Today, let’s explore step by step the full charm of this serene lotus brick set.

2.Assembly Process

We start with Bag 1, which contains 4 parts packages.

Open Bag [1.9] to start building the base.

Then open Bag [10.32]

Spread out the translucent blue pieces to create the shimmering surface of the pond. Under the light, the transparent bricks reflect gently, like rippling water catching the sun. The visual clarity is beautiful—bright, calm, and almost lifelike. I really like this part.

Continue with Bag [33.57] to start shaping the lotus leaves and stems.

By Step 47, the entire base is complete. The blue water, framed in black, looks exceptionally pure—like a serene pond on a quiet summer night.

By Step 57, the lotus stems and leaves are assembled, dotted with bright green round tiles that float naturally across the water. The contrast between the cool blue and the fresh green brings the scene to life—the green tones gently pull your focus, like light filtering through pond reeds.

 Next, open Bag [58.66]. 

At Step 64, the small sub-step in the instructions should have been separated, but it was merged into one diagram, which caused a moment of confusion.

 By Step 66, I finished the first lotus — a white bloom standing among the blue water and green leaves. It looked simple, yet to me, it somehow felt alive. 

Now, move on to Bag 2.

Bag 2 includes three smaller parts bags.

Open Bag [67.87] to start building more blossoms and decorative details.

In Steps 82 and 86, the flower pieces were a bit loose, with slightly oversized peg holes. Even a gentle touch could knock them off, which was frustrating since my build had been going smoothly. This minor issue disrupted my rhythm, and I had to adjust the pieces several times.

By Step 87, pink buds, lotus pods, and tiny star-shaped flowers have appeared across the pond. The mix of colors remains harmonious rather than chaotic, and the flowers are layered clearly, adding visual depth to the scene.

Next, open Bag [88.103].

By Step 103, a new pink lotus has been added on the left side. The pink and white petals complement each other beautifully against the green leaves, creating a rich, three-dimensional scene that enhances the overall lotus pond aesthetic.

Finally, open Bag [104.116].

With the final lotus in place, I could see the complete model displaying soft, harmonious colors and natural shapes, giving an overall calm and elegant impression.

 3. Overall Evaluation 

From my perspective, this lotus brick set impresses me with its realistic design and harmonious, natural colors. The pink and white petals layer beautifully, and the green stems and leaves contrast nicely with the base. Once I placed it on my desk, it immediately became a charming desktop display and added a touch of elegance to my home decor.

As I assembled the set, I found the instruction manual very clear and the steps logically arranged. The pieces were neatly sorted in separate bags, which made them easy to handle. The set is not very difficult, making it ideal for beginners or casual builders.

Structurally, the base is stable, and the connections between stems and leaves are solid, providing good support. Once finished, the model felt sturdy and not prone to falling apart. The only minor issue I noticed was that some flower pieces, especially the petal joints, could be slightly loose. Other than that, the connections were tight, giving the model high structural integrity.

Once completed, I was delighted with the result. The petal layers are distinct, and the flowers have a natural posture. Even with a few slightly loose flower parts, it doesn' t affect the overall display. For me, as a mostly static brick model, it perfectly balances visual appeal and the building experience.

In summary, I would say this lotus brick set offers a smooth building process and a satisfying final display. The only small drawback is the slightly loose flower components, but if future versions improve the petal joints, the overall experience would be even better.
